Summary

Longley Way Elementary is a K–5 school in Arcadia, California, with 541 students, and is the smallest of the four K–5 schools in Arcadia Unified. Its results are well above California’s overall proficiency levels, but its most important local challenge is that it trails the other nearby Arcadia Unified K–5 schools in English language arts and math.

Science is the school’s relative strength: proficiency is 64%, compared with 58% in the district and 36% statewide, and is essentially at the average for the other three Arcadia Unified K–5 schools. In contrast, ELA proficiency is 66%—above the state’s 49% but below the district’s 71% and each nearby K–5 peer, whose results range from 67% to 76%. Math is 66%, well above the state’s 38% but below the district’s 68% and the nearby schools’ 72%–74%. Grade-level results show where math is most uneven: Longley ranks second of four in grade 3, but fourth of four in grades 4 and 5. Its fifth-grade ELA result is competitive locally, while it ranks fourth in grades 3 and 4.

Results have weakened relative to the state since 2022–2023: ELA fell 9 percentage points and math fell 5, while the state improved in both subjects; Longley’s leads narrowed by 12 points in ELA and 9 in math. Science rose 1 point over that period. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 87th percentile statewide, 779th of 5,804 schools, with 4 stars; it ranks fourth of 10 nearby schools with rank histories. One notable group result is SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Asian students: 36th percentile, compared with 87th overall. The student-teacher ratio is 23.5:1, lower than at the other Arcadia Unified K–5 schools, and 30% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the second-lowest reported figure among nearby schools with the same measure and year.
